Nephews

I'm an Auntie Em! And I love it.

Why?

Their names: Oliver and Lyall. Charming, old-fashioned, and quaint. Just so perfect.
Because babies are cute and chubby, and I love it when they make concerned faces full of curiosity.
I get to snuggle with them, hold them when they cry, and they sometimes fall asleep in my arms. That last part is my absolute favorite.
I get to make funny faces at them, and they just stare at me in a nonjugdmental way.
And the best part: I get to spend time with them, and at the end of the day, their parents take them home. I love babies, but goodness they are exhausting. I think for now I'm content with taking them in small doses.
